Summary Insights War: Parallel findings of justification by each side for its actions
Shared & high expectation of further escalation – WB & region, majority on both sides see bias in int’l institutions against them
Two state solution: mild increase among Palestinians, low point among Israelis/low perceived feasibility; minority support on both sides (majority among Arabs in Israel only)
One Israeli-dominated state strongest among Jews; no other solution stands out for other populations
Regional context & dilemma generates majority preference for peace
Attitudes in flux<br>
